Poor subscriber magazine

I have received my first copy of the '5 for £5' subscriber offer, and what I received is very different, and very inferior, to the Gardener's World magazine on sale in the shops, yet it is blatantly advertised in GW as a subscription to GW. Afraid it's an example of "if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is". Shame on you, GW

I used to subscribe and now I still buy the GW I find it to be great value and keep issues to refer back too find it hard to throw out the great articles if I must I give them to the GP so I can still browse them in the wating room

I have been taking the GW weekly from my newsagent for at least 25 years, and have watched it grow from a newspaper type seedling, to the magnificent glossy mag we have to-day, and long may it continue. (Wouldn;t know about subscriptions though)

Hello everyone, thank you very much for all the replies. I'm new to forums and have been out gardening in the glorious weather! Sent an email to GW and received a lovely, very prompt and very full reply outlining in detail the many differences between the subscriber mag and the off-the-shelf version. Much reassured that we subscribers are getting more, not less, than the off-the-shelf version and looking forward to making the best of all the offers. Full marks to GW, nice to be able to say I am wrong and great to hear how much you all enjoy the mag too. Happy gardening
